Concomitant use of strong inhibitors of CYP2C8 (e.g., gemfibrozil)
3OVERDOSAGE
Isolated cases of overdose with UPTRAVI tablets up to 3200 mcg were reported. Mild, transient nausea was the only reported consequence. In the event of overdose, supportive measures must be taken as required. Dialysis is unlikely to be effective because selexipag and its active metabolite are highly protein-bound.
